Bad economics is terrible, but can hardly qualify as an apocalypse. When I think of something apocalyptic, I think of something like this.

And we could not survive that on this planet.
I think bad economy qualifies as an apocalyptical event.
John in the book of revelations talks about it-
it was predicted.
And on the other hand you are right,
We are overwhelmed with high Tech and we do not even know how to multiply numbers on our own.
We don`t even know how to think because we don`t have to think too hard these days - machines do the thinking.
This is the tactics of Satan in the last days.
The strategy is the following...
1 - tell people they have a loot of time to do right.( but we don`t have a lot of time - we live at most 80 years...)
2 - tell them they have NOT ENOUGH time for making money.
3 - tell them to create machines who are doing the thinking
4 - our brains got into a standby - we don`t think we act like robots.
5 - robots built by Satan himself to lead us to fail
The only way is :
STOP for a second and think :
What is the purpose of your life, who are your loved ones ? You are trying to be on the Good side?
Don`t let others rule you . THINK people , THINK!
